Here’s a real example of someone making it about themselves. This is a real post from someone else from LinkedIn: In the summer of 2008 I had just got back from an internship at Microsoft when the impacts of FC started to land. Microsoft was generous to extend me an offer (to start in 2009 fall), and as I just started negotiating my recruiter reached out to me to let me know that I have 24 hours to accept the offer due to 18,000 employees (~18% of workforce) being let go. It was a mind numbing number. These were people and families that we knew and had an amazing summer with. I personally knew interns who had declined offers to try and negotiate a different offer who did not have anything to show for all the hard work put in. I came back to campus a few week later to complete chaos. Harvard Business School, at that time, was a feeder school to Finance and Consulting. I had so many friends whose internships were yanked from under them. In some cases bankrupt banks came after part of the tuition payments that they had made on behalf of their former (now students) employees. Over the next few months we saw families and lives disrupted, mortgages, visas and plans thrown into disarray. I felt thankful to have a job then. And I feel thankful to have a job today. My hope for Meta emerging from these deep, needed cuts is that (a) we telegraph clearly that we are done with cuts for now and we give teams the psychological safety to work and create impact (b) we take the moment to reevaluate who we are as a company and how we evolve systems to value what we need in our employees to accomplish what we need going forward. To Meta employees who have been laid off today. My network is your network. Please ping me here. I am deeply networked in the Seattle community and am happy to make introductions for you. In addition to that I am happy to make time to do resume reviews and/or interview coaching and feedback
